Nah you can't be allowed that! That would be like me saying I think my Helix Stomp is my best pedal purchase for the year, although it's still sitting in its box unopened! 😂 (Well tbf it probably is).

Damm 😂 Second thoughts then... a really nice wide leather strap I found in a local music store!

Best - Got to be my Overwater Custom (bought it but haven't picked it up yet) 

Worst - Due to a mixup with many string manufacturers/companies a tonne of strings which I know I will never use 👍 It's been a good year though! 

I've always read dots, sightread & charts from nn early age. In my experience  the only times I've actually used them is working in the pits, cruises & my own teaching practice. Even doing sessions they normally use give me a chart or tell me the basic structure. It's a great skill to have, but it's use is sadly declining (for me and players I know) 

Welcome Armin! 

I've had 30+ in the past but I'm really cutting it back to a custom "Pingray" fiver, old jazz a fretless & my upright. I think they will cover 99.9% of anything I'd have to cover. I do have regrets selling a few but I suppose that's life 😔

I'm sort of in the boat with the changes between rounds & flats for different gigs.. Getting really bad blisters from rounds at the moment. John Deacon can be seen licking his fingers before different passages live quite a few times. Although never nose grease, I do occasionally moisten my fingers just a little bit to "ease the pain"

I always change strings on pre owned instruments you don't know where they've been 😂

This is next level! The relicing & yellowing are truly fabulous 👌

Sounds like a great setup aDx! Always found Cort basses to have a nice fundamental sound to them 👍

I'd bet you a pound to a penny that he does do that again. Unless you have a word with him about it, of course.

S.P.

I think so too, I'm only a dep so I think I'll have a word with the band first.

Played with a Manic Street Preachers & Stereophonics tribute band on Saturday. Decent crowd, good band (old boys) but the singer was a bit off. Would start tracks on his own, chop & change the set as we went. I'm depping with them again next month, fingers crossed he doesn't do that again.

I was in awe all the way through! really enjoyed it 😁

Hi, are you sure the weight is correct? I have the cmd 151 1x15 combo and it's 20 lbs lighter than that. That's just a speaker cab.

Any thoughts?

I'm not really sure. It's the only specs from Markbass themselves

Going Friday Haven't been this excited for a live show in years

I had one for a while and they are good fun to mess around on. I imagine if you're actively recording you will definitely find some good uses for it! Enjoy! 

Yea I'm fancying recording some spaghetti western type themes at the moment

Enjoy your new bass.

For getting the best out of a Bass VI, have a look at this thread - in particular EssentialTension's posts about strings, set up, shimming the neck and replacing the bridge. Then move on to my review of the Bass VI including more set up and modification advice. Then you might want to have at look at this thread about the alternatives.

Thanks for the input! it's going off to my tech in the next few days I'll definitely look through those now thank you 👍

Surplus to requirements & space! Good condition, a few scratches to the corner protectors & comes with fitted Roqsolid cover with bottom flap. 

Open to offers of course. Pickup preferred but could deliver within reason. Currently in storage, so apologies for the rubbish pics.

Some specs from Markbass - 

Bass Cabinet Markbass Standard 151HR 8 Ohm
Power: 400 W
Loudspeaker: Neodymium
oudspeaker Type: Neodymium
Horn: yes
Impedance: 8 ohms
SPL ( 1 W/1 m): 100 dB
Frequency Response: 40 - 20 kHz
Enclosure: Plywood
Connections: ¼" Jack & Speakon

Markbass Standard 151HR Cabinet

The standard 151HR 1 x 15" cab will never leave you lacking in the bottom end department. Many players find that 15" speakers give them a deep, classic sound that suits many music styles. This cabinet can be used on its own, but combining it with a Traveler 102P or a standard 104HR makes for one powerful stack. 

Features:
IMPEDENCE 8 ohms
WEIGHT 52.9 lbs / 24 kg

WIDTH23.4 in. / 59.4 cm

HEIGHT 23.8 in. / 60.4 cm
DEPTH 18.9 in. / 48 cm

Picked up this bass vi at a music store/studio I freelance at. Ex demo model for a great price! Needs new strings & set up etc. I've alway been interested in this instruments history & usage in different genres.

Really enjoyed that! Some excellent advice too. Just subscribed 😊

Thanks mate! Already down a rabbit hole already 😂

Well, don't leave us hanging...what??

Custom Overwater 5 String "Pingray" Reverse P & MM pickup. Still some details to refine but similar to a Sanberg VM 5 I beleive.

Ah, this..

Nice Ray, but I only like the ones with mutes and figured wood necks. I'm sure the buyer will love it.

I can't agree with you more. A great bass but having to  fund a custom one 

Phil just bought my EBMM Stingray. Easy transaction & top bloke 👍 many thanks.

Use the "Report" option by rolling the mouse to the top right corner of the post. Ask the mods to close it for you. 

They will periodically close sold items en masse by doing a search of the word "Sold" which you can add by editing the original post.

Marvellous issue resolved thank you
